SALINE When a senior financial analyst was fed up with corporate America, he and his wife decided to make a drastic move.
Now, they are reaping the benefits and getting ready to open their own storefront.
Brad Bingley and his wife, Amy Nolfo, downsized their home, moved to a house in the country and began selling vintage, antique and repurposed items. Nolfo, who grew up in the antiquing business, handles the antique aspect in her business Butter Beans Antiques and her husband specializes in restoration in his business, The Tao of Restoration.
The couple is getting ready to open a shop in late May or June behind their home in Ottawa Lake.
Nolfo was selling their items at the annual Saline Area Historical Society antique show held Saturday at Liberty School while Bingley was out of town.
They usually sell at larger markets but decided to give the Saline show a try this year because its closer to home.
The crowd has been a buying crowd, she said. You can have a huge show but if no one is buying than you arent making any money.
In both of their businesses, the couple focuses on the cottage-industrial look, which is repurposing antique and industrial items into something more useful for the home. They also turn salvage items such as wood into other items such as kitchen tables.
Thats our goal is the whole urban farmhouse kind of thing, she said.
The event featured 32 antique vendors from throughout the state selling anything from furniture to photos to jewelry. The show is the historical societys largest fundraiser of the year so it is important for there to be good attendance and participation fro the dealers, said Dean Greb, president of the historical society.

SALINE: Hundreds turn out for annual antique show
Shrewsbury's Quarry leisure centre and swimming pool is not fit for purpose and needs updating, the towns MP has said.
Daniel Kawczynski said recent conversations with local swimmers have highlighted the need for the towns current facilities to be improved.
It comes as he asks county swimmers to contribute to a new report about the centre.
Mr Kawczynski has asked representatives of various county swimming clubs to provide him with statistics about how many people currently use the pool and what replacement facilities would be required.
Shropshire Council has earmarked the site as a potential location for a new 40 million five-star hotel.
Private investors are being sought to fund the building of a new 200-bedroom hotel, with the Quarry Swimming and Fitness Centre named as one location under consideration.
But the local authority revealed last week it has no money available to build a replacement swimming pool.
The report being drawn up by Mr Kawczynski will include details on how many clubs make use of the pool from across Shropshire, what the effect of the potential pool closure would be if there was no replacement and how facilities could be improved.
It will be sent to Shropshire Council bosses for them to take into consideration.
Mr Kawczynski said whether the hotel plans come to fruition or not, it is clear from his conversations with swimmers that the facilities are in need of updating.
